One other thing I notice when quickly going through this discussion, has been
left out of it, maybe because too "obvious" or people around here generally
better at it than I was (^-^), also you'd have had other issues if that was your
blind spot... but I remember it was one of the slightly confusing cornerstones
for me initially, so I do feel compelled to write about it:
....Just make sure you fully grasp the distinction and nature of Commit versus
push!

Matter of fact, the wildcard feature has been a great organizational
tool for me. My typical .gitignore entries include:
*~
/*/*
/test_*
(The /*/* entry works for my Object Collection projects because Object
Collection contributions have no directory structure.)

100%. I actually did my little test a few days ago without a remote even
configured - because you can use git that way. :)
